Uh. Yea. The AFC championship To Bevo's defense there were many questionable calls and every one went in KC favor. The 3 that stood out to me The missed holding call on the play that Mahomes got pummeled. This hold would have negated the pummeling. The missed block in the back on the Sky Moore punt return. That was clearly obvious. The intentional grounding on Burrow. He was hit and it clearly looked to affect the direction of the pass. These were all penalties you could see in real time that looked obvious and in my opinion all were missed. Also why did they give KC a second attempt at a 3rd down. Post of the Year (so far) but sadly it just reminds me of what should have been. The block in the back on the punt return was so obvious my dead grandmother could have made the call and she never watched a game of football in her entirew life. And if you want to go back to last year's Super Bowl, the PI call on Logan Wilson on 3rd and 8 on the Rams final (and game winning drive) was absolutely criminal.

The slow 'paint dry' pace of Baseball offers about 15.5 minutes of actual Baseball action in a 2 1/2 hour game. The actual action in a football game is approximately 11.5 minutes in a 3 1/2 hour game. Baseball is not for the attention deficit people. There's a lot going on out there, especially pitcher -batter-catcher. I agree that an electronic strike zone is feasible and I think we'll see that some day.

I think the minor leagues will be using this technology this upcoming season.

I'd be curious to how the actual time is calculated. In baseball is it from the time he steps on the rubber until the ump calls timeout? In football is it from the time of the snap until the tackle is made? In football there is awful lot going on from when the teams break the huddle and before the ball is actually snapped.
2 major things have happened to both baseball and football. In baseball the length of games as slowed down considerably. In football they have made a concerted effort to speed it up. Each game also has a lot more meaning in football. From my perspective the live action in football is far more exciting than the live action in baseball. Only time I felt differntly is when I got to see the Reds in the world series when Jose Rijo shamed Dave Stewart.

Not Sure how baseball athletic action is calculated. A MLB pitch (fastball) crosses the plate in 0.2 0.3 seconds, almost as fast as an eye blink. Football would be from snap to whistle I'd assume..

Were any of the other NFL playoff games corruptly rigged like the Super Bowl was ? The irony is that the sheep will complain that the game is rigged, while continuing to watch it. The amount of people who watch the commercials is the only metric that matters.

For the record the LAST sport I still believe in is, Baseball... and, even in Baseball, MY team is accused of cheating. I think baseball is the HARDEST to rig. Basketball is so easy, only an idiot would put any faith in it. Football is a bit harder, but not much. Golf is impossible to fix, but who really cares? I don't know enough about hockey to really know. Baseball is not impossible. An umpire, with a big payday offering, can certainly impact a game. I'm not sure he can guarantee an outcome? Do YOU think an Ump has that kind of power? I hope not. It's my last bastion of naivete. I'm hoping to watch more baseball after I retire. :-) I figured out the Astros were cheating. If I figured it out then MLB was ignoring it until the story was too hot to handle. MLB was clearly complicit in my eyes. They did the same thing with he steroid home run insanity because it put butts in seats.

By chance today, while having lunch… I watched the end of the San Fran -Baltimore Super Bowl a few years ago. That one was also decided by the refs… but, by a non-call. On 4th and goal, from the Baltimore 5, the Ravens clearly grabbed and held the SF receiver.
Now, THIS is defensive holding. It impacted the route. Clearly prevented the receiver from getting to where the ball would be.
No call… game over.
This has been going on a long time.

Not honest mistakes but planned corruption ? If so who benefits from the fixes, fraud and corruption in the NFL ? Also, do those Jewish space ship lazer beams deflect footballs in field goal attempts to achieve a desired result ?

It's not that hard, Hen. They don't have to control every play. Just, the final outcome. Honest Mistake? LOL This guy was wrapped up, with TWO hands. No call. JUST at the time when, the game was on the line

It's still intriguing as to when the NFL made this phone call to the Eagles cornerback instructing him to lie and admit he was holding. He, dejectedly, stated that he was, indeed, holding about 25 minutes after the game ended. Soooo did this 'call' come directly to him in the Eagles locker room ? In the shower ? Were other Eagle players and coaches aware of this call ? Etc. Lot's of questions . Bevo.
You know....the Jewish lazer beams that started the California fires.....the micro chip implants in the Covid vaccines etc.etc. I'm not sure how the space ships and lazer beams were Jewish but that's what those QAnon wack-a-doodles reported.

Maybe, he KNEW... without a phone call what he was SUPPOSED to say. That grab meant nothing. 5X worse happened on almost every play. NO FLAG was thrown when the grab was made. Only, after Mahomes threw the ball away. All for show, Hen. And, you're buying it.
